Not much has changed on the 2019 Voodoo One. It comes in a number of sizes, sits in the value space, and delivers a decent value buy for the single-piece aluminum baseball player. This is our 2019 Voodoo One Review.
None of the hitters who used the 2019 Voodoo One fell in love with it. But, it is an adequate bat—especially in BBCOR. The USSSA and USA versions suffer from a smaller barrel. But, they do swing light and if you can find the sweet spot of the barrel it will travel.

We surveyed over 2,000 players on their 2019 bat usage. We asked what bat they used, how they liked it and what bat they think is the best. We parsed that data into each individual bat and report those on our review pages. As well, we aggregated data on the bat brands overall ranking.

The most recommendable version of the bat is in the BBCOR realm. We like the balanced swing and stiff feel. Those who like single piece BBCOR bats (like the VELO or 519 Omaha) should put the DeMarini Voodoo One in their wheelhouse. USA and USSSA players will do well with these bats if they don’t have crazy expectations. Don’t expect a smooth smash on mishits and don’t expect a big barrel either.
The BBCOR version of the bat is our favorite of the bunch. It has a nice balanced swing weight, decent sized barrel, and solid durability. If you can barrel this up–and you have some decent swing speed–you can put a few balls yard. But, it will ring your hands on mishits and doesn’t have a barrel size that will give pitcher’s pause.
Price Check
The USA version of the bat is alright. None of our hitters liked it the best—but its price point is a bit more attractive than some of the $300 bats around. The USA Version of the 2019 Voodoo One is a pretty basic bat. Turns out, too, there aren’t very many great USA bat options so a single piece aluminum at a near $100 price point makes it a reasonable option.

DeMarini has made a Voodoo in a USSSA Drop 10 for the last several years. The bat has not changed much. A few years back they changed the end cap to help with some swing weight. But, it is still that good old fashioned single piece aluminum with a light swing weight.
Price Check
There aren’t any changes from the 2018 version to the 2019 version in terms of tech. The 2019 Voodoo One is, like the 2018 version, a single piece aluminum bat with a average sized barrel and a light swing weight.
We have now spent considerable time both in the cage and during games with the 2018 DeMarini Voodoo One balanced. It is a light swinging version of the older Voodoo Insane and does really well against a bat like the Rawlings VELO.
After 2 hours in the cage and on the tee with the DeMarini Voodoo One, we review thoughts. The One should be considered the 2017 version of the 2016 Insane bat. You will recall that bat was a single piece aluminum bat with a moderately sized barrel and a swing weight for big hitters.
Our 2016 DeMarini Uprising Review (Baseball) comes after a dozen hours of testing in the cage on the field with the drop 10 2 3/4 version of the bat. On the whole, we'd suggest the bat only to those who are looking for a cheap option this year but would also like the guarantee of a warranty from a name brand company. Performance and durability are lacking but not any more than other bats in the price point.
A single piece aluminum bat with an average swing weight is, to say the least, common. It is the most common type of bat on the market in fact. As such, there is no shortage of bats that are like the 2019 Voodoo One.
We’d start with a bat-like the 5150 or VELO from Rawlings, then check the 519 or 619 from Slugger. Easton runs with a Beast proline that we like a lot and is also a single-piece aluminum stick.
See the 5150 Review We’ve spent considerable time with Rawlings 5150 line of bats. It is as familiar in the industry as any bat has ever been.
Price Check
See the 519 Omaha Review We’ve hit with every 2019 Omaha 519 from Slugger. This series of bats, not changed much over the course of several years, is just what the traditionalist ball player prefers.
Price CheckThe 2019 DeMarini Voodoo One is a single piece aluminum bat built with a balanced to light swing weight. A couple years back they upgraded the end cap, but the 2019 version sits much like the 2018 and 2017 versions of the bat. Don’t expect many frills, but do expect a good old fashioned bat.
The 2019 Voodoo One comes in a BBCOR (drop 3, obviously), Drop 10 USSSA and a drop USA Bat drop 10.
